Thamnolia vermicularis (Sw.) Schaerer subsp. vermicularis chem. thamnolic acid
Ach. ex Schaer., Enum. Crit. Lich. Eur.: 243, 1850. Basionym: Lichen vermicularis Sw. - Meth. Musc.: 37, 1781
Synonyms: Cenomyce vermicularis (Sw.) Röhl.; Cladonia vermicularis (Sw.) DC.; Thamnolia vermicularis (Sw.) Schaer. var. vermicularis; Thamnolia vermicularis (Sw.) Schaerer subsp. vermicularis chem. thamnolic acid ; Thamnolia vermicularis f. minor Lamy
Description: Thallus fruticose, pure white, becoming pinkish in the herbarium and staining the herbarium paper, erect or decumbent, often forming tufts. Thallus units 1-2(-3) mm thick (rarely to 8 mm), worm-like, usually to 5 (rarely to 10) cm tall, more or less cylindrical, with pointed apices, smooth, non squamulose, simple or rarely sparingly branched in upper part. Cortex of longitudinally arranged hyphae; medulla thin, soon becoming hollow. Apothecia not known. Pycnidia poorly evident, immersed, initially covered by cortical tissue, flask-shaped to broadly globose, the wall colourless throughout, uni- or rarely bilocular, densely filled with long, parallel conidiophores comprising erect chains of intercalary conidiogenous cells with bayonet-like processes near the upper cell septum. Conidia bacilliform, slightly tapering at one end, 3-5 x 1-2 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K+ bright yellow, C-, KC-, P+ orange, UV . Chemistry: thamnolic acid.
Growth form: Fruticose
Substrata: soil, terricolous mosses, and plant debris
Photobiont: green algae other than Trentepohlia
